July 4th, 2013
Hiya, Terminal - just a note to let you all know I'm dropping Ed (Elric) here, since he hasn't been meshing with things as well as I would have liked and I think it's been dragged out long enough. Since I don't have any other characters, that means I'm also dropping from the game. It's been fun! Sorry to folks I had CR plans with.
Event Wrap Up
We’re still wrapping up a few threads in the Divers/Defenders log, and those in the City and the Protectors can of course continue to thread as you please, but the main bulk of the plot has been completed. Besides a heck of a lot of people getting crests, what’s happened?
Dark Zone -- For those not on the up-and-up with the thread, our Divers saw more than the usual personal trauma. A white shining Digimon of indiscernible size was massacring entire villages of Digimon, humans, and other creatures. As for what this means or if they’ll share it, that’s up to you to figure out and them to decide. The Dark Fields are more dangerous now, as tethers will snap in them. Two crests, one inside and one out, cut through this one, something that the Divers and Defenders can again share or not. The Dark Field started healing itself immediately after the initial breakthrough, though, and after the Divers escaped it quickly was back to normal. Once again, the Myotismon retreated back into it only after the Defenders left with the Divers.
City -- There’s some damage, but it is, overall, standing fine. The places most banged up were the marketplace and the general Western area of the city, which can never really catch a break, huh?
Masaru -- He has not returned to the city, but the Divers have seen what they think is a sign that he escaped. On the train-ride back, the Divers will receive a message -- text -- from him, saying he’s out and banged up, but okay. He will also alert them that the other original Chosen (aka the NPCs) that the player characters know have recently taken to the rest of the Digital World, investigating Sakuyamon’s claims on other continents. But don’t worry. There’s a rather “unorthodox” Chosen coming to the city to make sure they’ll be okay. And that’s coming from Masaru. Oh boy.
Blast From the Past
The initial info for the next plot has gone live, and the location information that goes with it will be up by the morning of the 5th. The results for the rolls are below.

If anyone has to step down from their role, alert us here so we can do some rerolling. These five will leave on the 5th with an NPC guest for Milleniummon’s Castle, which they will arrive at on the night of the 6th to set camp and collect data on what is going on there.
A log will be set up by the mods for their observations where they will discover that inhabiting the castle is not Milleniummon, but an unknown amount of rabid Digimon. There’s no way to tell how many or what’s going on without looking inside, which is where the infiltration team will come in later, but it is enough that they know they will need backup.
Additional information on the plot, the second half of it when the investigators arrive, will be revealed as the month continues. We’ve also extended the Dark Digivolution signups to the 12th. This will be closed at 11:59 PM and then revealed shortly after.
Reminders and Other Notes
Discussion and Polls: These close on the night of July 5th! Get your input in before then. We will be discussing the results on July 6th, and when the next plot update comes out, we will have updates for the game as well, based-off what you’ve told us.
Missions/Quests/Jobs: There will be none of these this month, as the Chosen will be spending the majority of the month outside the city! In-game explanation is that the Trailmon who run this are very busy busing people around and did not have time to set-up the sign-ups. Characters are free to search for parttime jobs on their own, while they’ll be in the city.
Cresting: A reminder! If you were accepted in the first app round in April, you may apply to be crested and we will begin discussion on your crest. You may also at anytime nominate people on the same page for what you think they should receive. However, we had cresting early so people could be ready for Fist of Courage and now Blast From the Past. Those accepted in May still must wait three months from their acceptance date, therefore can start applying in August.
Tagging: When you tag into a log or a network post, please remember to edit the tags on the post so your character’s name is there! It helps us a lot for cresting, and for anyone who wants to look for a specific post, and lately the mods have been going in and adding them after for a lot of characters.
Again, thanks to everyone for your participation in this latest event. We’re excited for you to see what we have planned for the rest of the month of July.
